Written Question
Homelessness: Immigrants
Tuesday 28th April 2020

Asked by: Gavin Newlands (Scottish National Party - Paisley and Renfrewshire North)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

What plans he has to provide (a) support and (b) accommodation for overseas nationals experiencing homelessness with no recourse to public funds during the covid-19 outbreak.

Answered by Luke Hall

We have provided over £3.2 billion of new funding to help local authorities to reduce risks to public health and to support individuals on the basis of need. This includes those sleeping rough.

The Government recognises that these are unprecedented times and expects local authorities to support people who are sleeping rough, and also to minimise unnecessary risks to public health, acting within the law.
